Only Fools and Horses: The Lost Archive 2026 airs Tuesday, October 20 at 9 p.m. BST — exclusively on U&Gold in the UK via Sky, Virgin Media, and Now. That’s the only confirmed broadcast window. No streaming availability has been confirmed for the U.S., Canada, Australia, or India. Tom’s Guide explicitly states the documentary is not available to stream in those markets, and adds that if that changes, readers will hear about it there first.
There is no mention of a global simulcast, no international broadcaster named, and no platform outside the UK cited as carrying the series. BritBox carries classic episodes, including 'The Jolly Boys’ Outing', but not this new archive material. No free global streaming option exists, and no official free-to-air broadcast is reported anywhere.
The event is linear-only: two one-hour episodes airing back-to-back on U&Gold, with no on-demand rollout confirmed beyond what Sky, Virgin Media, and Now normally offer subscribers. No mention of BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, or any other UK catch-up service appears in the reporting. The documentary marks the sitcom’s 45th anniversary and features never-before-seen HD clips, deleted scenes, and outtakes from fan-favourite episodes like 'The Jolly Boys’ Outing', 'Miami Twice', and 'Class of ’62'.
